Brought TO Light. y
New York Commercial Advesti,er. q


DR.. J. Herbert Claiborne, Jr., ofEtAie
city has written an interesting accouRt
for the Medical Rec ord of newly diSa
covered alkaloid, with which he has been
experimenting, and whose therapeutic
value as local al n sthetic he concludes
will not be inconsiderable, especially in
eye diseases. HIS own researches have
been confined to its effects on the mucous
surfaces OF the eye and nose, but he
thinks 1t may fairly be reckcned as 8 rival
of cocaine, and feels safe in predicting for
it wide field of usefulness in all depart
ments of surgery where local acp ;thesia
is desired.
The new drug is derived from tie
leaves of tree very much resembling the
acscis stenocsrpo, and known in Louis
lana as the "tesr blanket tree"
The discovery of the drug was due to
sn accident, MIR. Goodman, veterinary
surgeon, while travelling through West
Felicisns Parish, Louislsna, had occasion
to apply s poultice to swelling o. Tia
fetlock of one Of his horses. he used TIE
lrst leaves that came to hand, saturated
with hot water. After making c free IL
cision in the swelling he was surprised TO
I find that the horse evinced not the slight
restricting of psin.
The leaves were sfterwsrd analysed,
and found TO contain al slkaloid 10 which

Women as Lay Delegates.

Rev. S. L. Baldwin. d. D.. contrib

ticle in defence Of the right of women

cral Conference Of the NJ. +. Church.
DIR. Baldwin says:
1T would be a great absurlity
for representatives drawn from the
sex which has only one-third of the
members of the church to sit in judg
ment on the election of these sisters,
and rule them out because of their sex.
Does any one imagine that Judge Rey-
nolds, or General Fisk. or Jacob
Sleeper, if they were delegates, would
be disgraced by the presence Of Mrs.
Newman or Miss Frances Willard as

that these ladies are not able to think

1.-THE Women's Vote in Kansas" q
paper read by Hon. F. G. Adams, Sec
retarv Of the Kansas Historical Socie-
ty. before the Kansas Equal Suffrage
Association, At Newton. gives facts and
figures which are an unanswerable ar
gumcnt for woman suffrage. Twenty
six thousand women and $1,000 men
voted last April in the municipal cleo
tons. The result is thus concisely
stated:
ut is no longer q question whether
women want to vote. They do want
to vote. This is proven by the fact
that they have voted the first oppor-
tunity given them. They voted with
an intelligent, jealous, earnest in
terest in the good Of the community
in which they have their homes. Ii
the issue involved in the election in
any town was one affecting merely the
local material interest of the commu.
nifty. they voted with good judgment
and for the common welfare. II the
question was as to better s, hool man.
agement, they voted for the best; il it
was for street, sanitary or other re-
forms. they voted prudently for what
1t would seem the good Of all de-
manded. II it was for change Of an
administration notoriously involved in
specnlations with water-works or other
corporations. they voted to deliver the
city from such corrupt ENHANCEMENT.
If political parties. controlled BY saloon
influences, put up candidates with the
otlor Of whisky on their garments. the
women rebuked the party managers,
and voted for candidates who would
better promote the welfare Of the com.
munity. In every instance they voted
for home and fireside. for the freeing
of the community from those de-
moralizing influences and temptations
from which every good woman would
deliver those of her own household"

SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
The Practical Results Of Woman 1ufrag &
How Women In WyOsning Vote.

The Practical Results OF Woman Suffrage
How Women In Wyoming Vote.
An ounce OF fact il worth ton Of
theory in estimating the practical re-
suits Of a new measure. Here is what
the Douglas (Wy. T.) Budget has to
say of woman suffrage; and it is to be
noted that almost all the papers pub
lished in Wyoming Territory speak in
. similar strain:
Sixty-six ladies voted at the recent
election. and the majority Of them
were ladies in every sense of the term.
Wyoming exalts her women. They
are viewed in the light OF rational.
sensible human beings. who are en-
dowed with common sense and in every
way qualified to vote as intelligently
as the men. Woman suffrage has stood
upon our statute books for twenty
years It is good thing; we know it
is good thing because we have tried
it. At Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins,
and all Of the older towns in the Terri
tory, ninety-nine women out Of every
hundred vote. The law requires that
. space Of fifteen feet on each side Of
the polling-place shall be kept clear Of
every one but two challengers, who
must be Of good behavior.
Carriages are provided for the ladies,
who are conveyed to the polls and
treated with every consideration while
there. The man who should venture an
indecent or profane remark. or offer to
interfere in the least with the lady
voter, would receive a more severe
lick than the historical Billy Patterson
received at the hands Of the man nearest
to him at the time. and good round
fine next day after nights lodging
in the lookup. A lady at the polls on
election day is really less liable to in
suit than when on a shopping expedi-
ton, or at the post-office after mail,
when the room is crowded with peo.
pie on like errand. There are ladies
who are not ladies' who vote, Of course;
there arc gentlemen who are not gentle
men who vote Also But the lady who
is a lady is not thrown into the society
of the fair but frail creature when at
the polls. any more than when she
passes her on the street The fact i.
that our women vote. and we are proud
Of them for it, and all the so-called
arguments brought against woman
suffrage by old fogies are not founde,
on the rock Of eternal truth, and vii
not stand the light Of actual ex
perience.
